WOOHOO! It's settled .....

..... according to Total SCI FI - the Watchmen court case, that is. Not surprisingly, FOX gets an upfront amount plus a percentage of the box office takings. I did like the next bit: "..... [percentage of the box office takings] for Watchmen and any sequels derived from it." (my emphasis added)

OH FOX, you just don't get it do you? Thanks goodness you didn't get to make this - you'd have added a couple of cute kids "to appeal to the younger audience" and PROBABLY AIRED THE EPISODES OUT OF SEQUENCE!

Whoops sorry, wrong company and it's a movie too, I know .....

Re-reading Watchmen

In anticipation of the upcoming (and now definitely happening movie), I've been reading my Watchmen TPB. Because I am a notoriously bad reader (in the sense of getting anything but the most obvious events of the story because I just don't do subtle in any part of my life), I've been using CBR's Rereading the Watchmen series - now up to #5. I love reading this way because I can actually get the broader (deeper?) intent of the story.
